篇一：英语作文
中秋赏月是中秋佳节传统的庆祝方式。几千年来，中国人常把自己的喜怒哀乐(joy and sorrow)以及分分合合(parting and reunion)同月亮的圆缺(wax and wane)联系起来。夜幕降临之时，大地沐浴在银色的月光中。此时最幸福的事就是全家人团团圆圆共赏美月了。一家人围坐在一起，一边聊天，一边欣赏美食，共享迷人的月色。 自然，这月色会让人想起许多月亮的传说。 那些出门在外回不了家的人则会仰望着明亮的月亮，思念家乡的亲人。
Appreciating the moon is a traditional celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. For thousands of years, the Chinese people have related their joy and sorrow, parting and reunion to the changes of the moon as it waxes and wanes. When night falls and the land is bathed in silver moonlight, it is the happiest thing for all family members to get together and appreciate the beautiful moon. Family members sit around, chatting, enjoying tasty food. Together, they enjoy the charming moonlight, which will naturally remind them of beautiful legends about the moon. Those who go outside and can not return home will watch the bright moon and long for their family members at home.

粽子是端午节的特色传统美食。粽子通常是用竹叶(bamboo leaves)或苇叶(reed leaves)包以糯米(glutinous rice)再用细线扎好做成的，经过蒸煮数小时后即可食用。粽子的馅儿因地区不同而不同。馅儿可以是甜的，比如枣(dates)、碎黄豆(mashed yellow beans)、花生、栗子等，也可以是咸的，比如猪肉、香肠、蘑菇、咸蛋黄(salted yolk)等。有些粽子只用糯米，只是吃的时候蘸着糖吃。粽子通常包成金字塔形状。包粽子很费时间，一般全家都要参与。当然，随着经济的发展，现在人们完全可以到附近超市买到现成的粽子而不必费劲自己包了。
Zongzi is known as the traditional food unique to Duanwu Festival / Dragon Boat Festival. It is usually made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves or reed leaves which are tied with a string. Zongzi is ready for eating after being steamed or boiled for several hours. The fillings vary from region to region. They may be sweet, such as Chinese dates, mashed yellow beans, peanuts or chestnuts, and may be salty including pork, sausages, mushrooms and salted yolk. Some types of Zongzi contain only rice, usually eaten with sugar. Zongzi is usually in the shape of a pyramid.
Zongzi-making is usually a family event with everyone helping out since it is time-consuming. Of course, with the development of economy, people nowadays can afford ready-made Zongzi from a nearby supermarket easily without taking trouble to make it themselves.
中国人过春节有拜年(pay a New Year call / visit)的习俗。通常在新年的钟声刚刚敲响的时候，晚辈(the juniors)会向长辈(the seniors)拜年。拜年时，晚辈会对长辈说一些祝福(blessing)的话，以示对长辈的尊重。同时，长辈也会回以祝福之词，并给晚辈们红包，称作“压岁钱”(lucky money)，以求他们健康、幸福和平安。不过，现在通信发达了，除了团聚在一起的一家人之间还使用这种方式拜年外，多数人选择使用电话或短信拜年了。
It is customary for Chinese people to pay a New Year Call on the Spring Festival Day. When the New Year’s bell rings, the juniors will pay a New Year Call to the seniors and send their blessing to show their respect to them. At this time, the seniors will return greetings of blessing to the young and give them gift money put in a red paper envelope, which is called lucky money, expressing a wish of good health, happiness and safety. However, modern people choose to say Happy New Year by making a telephone call or sending a mobile text message since developed communication makes it very easy. Only the family members living together still pay a personal New Year call to each other.

风筝是中国人发明的，距今已有2,000多年的历史。传统的中国风筝上到处可见寓意吉祥的图案(auspicious images)，如“福寿双全”、“龙凤呈祥”、“四季平安”等(“happiness and longevity”, “auspicious dragon and phoenix” and “safety throughout the year”)。 这些图案无一不表现着中国人民对美好生活的向往 (aspiration)，形成了中国特有的风筝文化，折射出中国人的传统观念、伦理道德和审美情趣(traditional views, ethic system and aesthetic tastes)。山东省潍坊市被誉为“世界风筝之都”，每年四月举办潍坊国际风筝节(International Kite Festival)，吸引大批中外风筝爱好者和游人前来观赏、竞技和游览。
Kites were invented by the Chinese people over 2,000 years ago. Auspicious images are everywhere on traditional Chinese kites, such as “happiness and longevity”, “auspicious dragon and phoenix” and “safety throughout the year”. All these images carry Chinese people’s aspiration for beautiful life, forming the unique Chinese kite culture which reflects the traditional views, ethic system and aesthetic tastes. The city of Weifang, Shangdong province, known as “World Capital of Kites”, hosts the Weifang International Kite Festival annually in April, attracting great numbers of Chinese and foreign kite fans and tourists to watch, compete and sightsee.
农历九月九日，为传统的重阳节。在古代，人们认为所有自然现象都能用阴阳理论来解释。数字也不例外。偶数为阴，奇数为阳。农历九月九日，日月并阳，两九相重，故而叫重阳，也叫重九。“九”与“久”谐音，“九九”意味着“久久”。因此，古人认为是个值得庆贺的吉利日子。在古代，民间在重阳有登高避瘟疫的风俗，故重阳节又叫“登高节”。 人们还会佩戴茱萸(cornel)避难消灾。重阳节正是菊花(chrysanthemum)盛开的时节，观赏菊花成了节日的一项重要内容。今天的重阳节，被赋予了新的含义，在1989年，我国把每年的九月九日定为老人节。重阳节成为尊老、爱老、助老的老年人的节日。
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. In ancient times, people believed that all natural phenomena could be explained by the theory of Yin and Yang. Numbers were of no exception. Even numbers belonged to Yin and odd numbers to Yang. So the number nine in both month and day created the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. As double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to signify "forever", both are "Jiu Jiu," the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. In ancient China, it was a custom to ascend a height to avoid epidemics. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Height Ascending Festival". People also wore cornel to keep away from disasters. The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum blooms. So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum becomes a key activity on this festival. Today, the Double Ninth Day has been given a new meaning. In 1989, the Chinese government decided the 9th day of the 9th lunar month as Seniors' Day. The Double Ninth Festival has become a time to respect, love and help senior citizens.
《中国青年报》在2010年4月进行的一项调查显示，在2072位被调查者中，有83％的人承认写字的时候会遇到“提笔忘字”的情况。中国的学者指出，“提笔忘字”的情况会发生是因为大部分中国人使用的电子设备输入法都是拼音输入法，所有汉字都通过字母来输入。用户输入拼音后，电子设备就会提供一系列与之匹配的汉字供选。所以用户只须识别这些汉字，而根本不需要把它们写出来。
A poll commissioned by the China Youth Daily in April 2010 found that 83 percent of the 2,072 respondents admitted having problems writing characters, forgetting how to write traditional Chinese characters – literally, “take pen, forget character” or character amnesia. Chinese scholars say that character amnesia happens because most Chinese people use electronic input systems based on Pinyin, which translates Chinese characters into the Roman alphabet. The user enters each word using Pinyin, and the device offers a menu of characters. So users only need to recognize the characters and don’t need to write them any more.
过去的七年，中国的房地产业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一情况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经取得了初步成效。
In the past seven years, China's real estate industry has developed in a record high speed. For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities.
旅游业是现代发展最快的产业之一。的确，旅游业的增长率通常超过全球经济的增长率。旅游业发展成一个大规模的产业，依靠的是快速廉价的交通工具。例如，国际旅游业发展最快的时期是航空运输业的发展时期。旅游业不仅有利于航空公司、旅馆、餐饮、出租车等行业，而且还有利于许多商业机构，甚至有利于旅游商品的制造业。旅游业不是一个单一性行业，而是由向顾客提供各种服务的许多不同行业所组成的综合性行业。
The tourism has been one of the fastest growing industries in modern times. Indeed, the growth rate of tourism has generally exceeded the growth rate for the worldwide economy. The development of the tourism as s mass industry depends on modern means of rapid and inexpensive transportation. For example, the greatest growth in international tourism has paralleled the growth of air transportation. Tourism benefits not only airlines, hotels, restaurants and taxi drivers, among others, but also many commercial establishments and even the manufacturers of tourist commodities. The tourist industry is not a single entity, but one that consists of many different kinds of enterprises that offer different services to the tourists.
上海是中国重要的经济、金融、贸易、科技、信息和文化中心。作为一座历史文化名城，上海以她独特的风韵吸引了数以百万计的海内外游客。上海同时也是美食家的乐园，尤其是上海的本帮菜，特别受到海外人士的青睐。最引人入胜的建筑当属黄浦江畔的东方明珠塔。登上观光层，或俯视对岸的外滩万国建筑博览群，或举目鸟瞰全市，无限风光，尽收眼底，令人心旷神怡，流连忘返。
Shanghai is China's important center of economy, finance, trade, science and technology, information and culture. As a noted historic and cultural city, Shanghai attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad with its unique charm. Shanghai is also a cherished paradise gourmets; its local cuisine enjoys particular popularity among overseas visitors. The most attractive architecture is no other than the Oriental Pearl Tower standing by the bank of the Huangpu River. Mounting the observation floor and looking around, you'll admire the view of the famous Bund lined up with a dazzling exhibition of international architecture across the Huangpu River and charming skyline of the city in the distance, taking delight in the endless soothing vistas that you'll find difficult to turn away from.
中国文明始于传说中以黄帝和炎帝为首的两个部落。经过几个世纪，到夏朝两个部落逐渐融为一体。因而，中国人往往称自己为“炎黄子孙”或“华夏民族”。
中华民族在人类社会早期便创造了光辉灿烂的文明。指南针、火药、造纸术和活字印刷术的发明对人类进步产生了深远的影响。万里长城、京杭大运河等浩瀚工程也被誉为世界工程史上的奇迹。
Chinese civilization began with the two legendary tribes ruled by Yan Di and Huang Di. After centuries, the two tribes merged into one by the time of the Xia Dynasty. Chinese people, therefore, usually regard themselves as “the descendants of Yan and Huang” or call themselves “Hua Xia People”.
The Chinese nation created a glorious civilization in the early stage of mankind’s history. The compass, gunpowder, the art of paper-making and movable type printing invented by the ancient Chinese have contributed tremendously to the progress of mankind in the world. The Great Wall, the Grand Canal and other works built by the Chinese people are regarded as engineering miracles in the world history.
中国素有“茶的故乡”之称，是世界上最早种植茶、制作茶、饮用茶的国家。 几千年来，中国人品茶的热情始终未减，因为茶是一种有益健康的天然饮品。 茶在中国人的社会和情感生活中都有着重要的作用。凡客人或朋友到来，沏茶、敬茶是必不可少的习俗。
中国人饮用不同的茶往往会选用不同的茶具。例如，绿茶用玻璃茶具，花茶有陶瓷茶具，乌龙茶用紫砂茶具。
China, the homeland of tea, is the first country to grow, produce and drink tea. For thousands of years, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people in drinking tea has remained unchanged. This is due to the fact that tea is a natural and healthy drink.
Tea plays an important role in Chinese people’s social and emotional lives. It is

篇三：风筝作文
2011山东德州中考作文《风筝》
我的风筝哪去了？线断了，愿绝了，残余的线从空中无情地落下来。风筝却溜走了，被蓝天无情剥夺了。四周变得黯然了，前方变得渺茫了，眼睛变得模糊了，我不知所措，那放了两年的风筝没有了??自从接到了朋友的电话，我一直在望着前方发呆，不知怎么得，我动不了了，脑子有些麻木，鼻尖有些酸涩，眼睛也有些模糊，“数奥竞赛取消了，感受如何？”听着那熟悉老友的声音，我却无法应答，迟迟没有反应，我并不是没有感受，只是嘴怎么也张不开，好像不是我的。或许那只是一句儿戏，给我放松一下罢了；或许那只是吓我一吓罢了??我宁愿相信这是一句编得天衣无缝的谎言，我也不要相信这是真的，可为什么那电话筒里的声音十分坚定，十分自信？我一动不动地坐在椅子上，脑子里一片空白，我也不知自己在干什么，时间在一分一秒地过着，过了良久，我才回过神来，我摇了摇头，又坐到了桌子前，虽然是人到了，心却未到，一晚上才做了几页书，我怎么也不相信这是真的，是在做梦吧！可捏了一下自己，好痛，我需要有人来证实，我才相信。
第二天，一走进教室便看见有几人在哭，霎时间，一股不好的预感迎面袭来。过不然，孙老师走了进来，那句话我听得十分清楚，“数奥竞赛取消了”，这7个字却引起来了满教室的痛苦，此时此刻，我不得不承认那不是谎言而是事实，眼前昏暗了，我不知该怎么办，手脚不知该往哪放，全身感到不自在。四周全是哭泣声，甚至有的已哭的失声了，同桌于波也捂着脸痛苦，我一直认为我很坚强，我认为我的心理素质很好，可那一次又一次的酸味，一次又一次涌来的泪水，使我哭了。顿时，我想起了那首周杰伦的《世界末日》，那不正是说的我吗？“想笑来伪装掉下的眼泪，点点头承认自己会怕黑，我只求能借一点的时间来赔，你却连同情都不给。想哭来试探自己麻痹了没，全世界好像只有我疲惫，无所谓反正难过就敷衍走一回，但愿绝望和无奈远走高飞??”那前方的路如此渺茫，在漫天大雾中若隐若现，
我不知所措。我也只能说“天若有情天亦老”，可这个玩笑未必开得太过火了，让人无法承受。我抛弃了一切来学数奥，到头来却是一句拒绝，我受不了。我曾经面对的是一座陡峭的高山，我抛开一切去攀登它，就快要成功时，这座山崩塌了，我摔了下来，受了重伤。以后还要面临着什么我不知道，我只知道期望越高，失望就越大。我多么希望能得到一杯忘忧水，醒来之后就忘掉了不愉快，可这只能在童话中实现。
这一段黑暗的的经历深深地刻在了那里――我的脑中，成为了一段永不忘的回忆。面对这一切，我什么话也不想多说，我只能叹息着：我的风筝哪去了？线断了，愿绝了。那剩余的线从空中无情地落下来，风筝却溜走了，被蓝天无情剥夺了。四周变得黯然了，前方变得渺茫了，眼睛变得模糊了，我不知所措，那放了两年的风筝没有了??
(二)话说风筝(16分)
①中国是风筝的故乡。古书中称“风鸢”，南方叫“鹞子”，北方称“纸鸢”。早期用木料制成的叫“木鸢”。由于社会不断进步，风筝的材质也发生了变化，陆续出现了帛鸢和纸鸢。如今也有人选用质轻、不易破损和经久耐用的化纤来替代纸和绢。
②“风筝”一词始见于五代，大约唐、五代时风筝已由最初的军事工具和宫廷娱乐逐渐普及到民间，成为一种艺术性和观赏性很强的娱乐游戏，同时还是一项很好的体育运动。每年的腊月初八到清明前后是放风筝的好时节，据说这一时期放风筝可以去晦气，祈平安。明清时期，清明放风筝已成为一种节令性很强的民俗活动。
③风筝种类繁多，造型各异。中国制作风筝技艺精湛，经验丰富，《南鹞北鸢考工志》将制作风筝的技艺概括为扎、糊、绘、放“四艺”。其中扎、糊、绘是风筝制作的关键环节。扎是用竹子扎制风筝的骨架。一只风筝能否飞得高、放得远，关键看骨架的扎制。要根据风筝的大小来选择竹子的粗细软硬，还要做到对称均衡。从风筝的骨架结构可以把风筝分为硬翅、软翅、长串、筒式、平挑、拍子、微型风筝等。按形象分有人物、鸟兽、水族、草虫、器皿等。糊是用纸、绢、绸、无纺布等糊在风筝的骨架上。糊的的技艺要求也很高，一定要平整，松紧适度，对称的部位要一致，这样才能保持风筝的平稳。绘是在风筝上绘上各种吉祥如意的美丽图案，有的是凰好后再糊，也有的是先糊好后画，制作技艺高超的多选择后者。
④中国各地有独具地方特色的风筝，它们风格各异，有的粗犷豪放，有的活泼精巧，有的色彩绚丽，有的清淡素雅。
⑤北京风筝历史悠久，在长期发展、借鉴、融合的过程中，逐渐形成了一定的规模，但真正形成流派乃至高潮的兴起，还是从曹雪芹的《南鹞北鸢考工志》开始的。大约乾隆二十年(1755年)，曹雪芹所创图式的风筝出现在京城，自此迎来了北京风筝的鼎盛时期。
⑥天津风筝以造型优美、人物生动、色彩艳丽、风格独特而闻名于世，其最显著的特征表现在骨架扎法和绘画上。杰出代表为魏元泰，人称“风筝魏”。
⑦山东潍坊旧称潍县，是著名的民间美术之乡，不仅风筝名扬四海，杨家埠也是木版年画的产地之一，“家家能染墨，户户会点青”。把制作木版年画的工艺与风筝艺术相结合，更加突出了潍坊风筝的地方特色。 ⑧江苏南通风筝又称“鹞子”，其造型优美，工艺精巧，音响是其最显著的特征。主要有“板鹞”和“活鹞”两大类。
